Or Constantinople
now it’s istanbul
not constantinople
But I have a date, in Constantinople.
do you really, though?
Of cour....no
Not Constantinople.
No, the next line is Even Old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why’d they change it?
I'm going to guess melee-based defense character
I would definitely love to see jetpack cat in the next puppy rumble.
Oh my god a I hadn't even considered a riot shield character in OW.
...though Genji and Tracer make that sound maybe not so great.
depends on how the flail part works. Flanking would definitely be the weakness of such a character, but if they have some good anti-mobility tools that could make for a fun matchup
I mean, right under that coffee stain is definitely a cat tail with a propulsion device.

I was thinking about stuff like this, and it seemed a bit too much like Doomfist.
Then I thought “maybe it’s a thing where you can pull allies to you, out of harm’s way... and then I realized “If you thought Mei griefers were bad before...”
Edit: but maybe if it pulls you to a friend, that would be neat. Chain onto a Rein as he charges in to protect his overextension.... but that’s like Mercy...
like a reaper + reinhardt hybrid
the game needs some more options in the "i am going to control these 6 cubic meters of space" department
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
HERO UPDATES
Doomfist
Hand Cannon
Ammo recovery rate increased from 0.8 seconds to 0.65 seconds per bullet
Developer Comments: This change will help Doomfist more consistently be able to use his weapon as part of his combos.
Mei
Endothermic Blaster
Freeze (slow) duration increased from 1 second to 1.5 seconds
Weapon alternate fire ammo cost reduced from 25 to 20
Developer Comment: Increasing Mei’s slow duration helps her freeze targets that are particularly elusive such as Genji or Lúcio. Lowering her alternate fire ammo cost allows her to more safely use it without costing her the ability to freeze enemies.
Sombra
EMP
No longer blocked by small objects (e.g. sign posts)
Hack
No longer gains ultimate charge from health pack healing
Cast time reduced from 0.8 seconds to 0.65 seconds
Now disables the following abilities:
Genji—Cyber-agility
Hanzo—Wall Climb
Pharah—Hover Jets
Lúcio—Healing Boost and Speed Boost (turns off current song entirely), Wall Ride
Mercy—Angelic Descent
Machine Pistol
Machine Pistol spread reduced from 3 to 2.7
Opportunist
Enemy health bars are now visible when health drops below 100% (formerly 50%)
Her ability to detect enemies through walls at 50% or less remains unchanged
Translocator
Duration increased from 15 seconds to 20 seconds
Developer Comment: The goal of these changes for Sombra is to remove the necessity for her teammates to take damage and heal themselves with her hacked heath packs to try to get her ultimate charged up quickly. Her ultimate will now come up less often, but there are more abilities that are disabled by Hack so it is more effective when used. Previously, Opportunist would only activate when an enemy’s health bar dipped below 50% but now the passive will reveal all damaged enemies which should help Sombra identify targets in her line of sight to pick off. Overall these changes should make her more effective and less reliant on her ultimate.
MAP UPDATES
Blizzard World
Some health pack sizes have been reduced
Some health pack locations have been changed
Additional health packs have been added
Developer Comments: Health packs are a valuable resource in Overwatch and positioning around them is key to holding ground on defense or keeping up momentum on offense. We have moved the location of some health packs and included additional ones to improve game play on Blizzard World.
USER INTERFACE UPDATES
Mercy
Valkyrie
No longer shows enemies’ health bars unless they have taken damage
Developer Comment: This helps remove some clutter from Mercy players’ screens when they use her ultimate
The Mei freeze change is for the duration of the slow debuff, once you're ice-cubed it's still the same as before, which means it really only affects heroes who can dart in and out of Mei's range, like Genji or Tracer
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
On the other hand, boy, as a anti-DPS duelist Sombra can actually get some shit done. She can really terrorize mobility heroes and off-tanks.
She still has no burst, so she can still be a bit of a liability in big messy teamfights, but her spread buff does help her out a fair bit, especially against bigger hitbox targets like Roadhog or Junkrat.
Bursty heroes like Hanzo or McCree can still wreck her pretty quick though
